" Cute, clever, and enjoyable." -- Movie Retriever

Bolt (2008)84%

" A good film with great performances that's only held back a bit by its extreme length and the pacing and pretentiousness that goes with it." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Nov 21, 2008
 
A Christmas Tale (2008)90%
/
 
" A beautiful, heartbreaking horror film that transcends its genre to become one of the most memorable and powerful movies of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Nov 14, 2008
 
Let the Right One In (2008)98%

" Even drastically altered as it has been in Ashes of Time Redux, the strengths and weaknesses of the film are the same." -- Movie Retriever

Ashes of Time Redux (2008)82%

" Quantum of Solace is the rocking-but-unsatisfying-on-its-own encore to Casino Royale's full set-list and, now, the lights are up and the show is over. I can't wait to hear the next tune." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Nov 13, 2008
 
Quantum of Solace (2008)66%
/
 
" Drama, comedy, musical, thriller, love story, and more in one transcending, riveting story. It is life on celluloid and, easily, one of the best movies of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Nov 12, 2008
 
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)92%
/
 
" The cast of Synecdoche, New York is so pitch-perfect and the concept so original that it could be the best choice for people looking to exercise their brain's this holiday season." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Nov 7, 2008
 
Synecdoche, New York (2008)64%
/
 
" There are enough laughs in Role Models to recommend it if you're desperate, but the first half-hour hints at a great comedy to come and it's just okay instead." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Nov 7, 2008
 
Role Models (2008)75%

" Whatever flaws there may be in the script or direction of I've Loved You So Long, it's a must-see for the two performances at its center." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
I've Loved You So Long (2008)91%
/
 
" A film that has, for lack of a less overused critical phrase, haunted me since I saw it. There's a deep sadness in Lawrence, Marlee, and James' eyes that is very hard to shake." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Ballast (2008)86%
/
 
" Like most anthologies, has its highs and lows, but is still original and inventive enough to recommend to horror fans looking for something different - a movie that's actually trying to be scary." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Fear(s) of the Dark (2008)74%
/
 
" May not be perfect, but it does show a filmmaker reinvigorated by his own writing and the potential of the raunchy comedy to be more than just a niche audience product." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 31, 2008
 
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)64%
/
 
" When Kuenne picked up his camera and set out to make a love letter to a tragically lost friend, he had no idea what he would find. With Dear Zachary, he found the best documentary of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 29, 2008
 
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)98%
/
 
" A character study in the classic sense of the phrase, featuring a lead who will stick with you for days and weeks to come. It's easily one of the best movies of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 24, 2008
 
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)94%
/
 
" Perhaps it's appropriate that a movie about a man who saw the world in black and white - the world was with him or against him - ended up with so many good and bad qualities itself." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 17, 2008
 
W. (2008)57%
/
 
" A return to form for Jonathan Demme, acting tour-de-force for Hathaway, and simply one of the best films of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Rachel Getting Married (2008)88%
/
 
" Body of Lies is an expertly made, well-acted movie, and that makes it worth seeing, but it's not what it could have been." -- Movie Retriever

Body of Lies (2008)51%
/
 
" Maher's wandering eye keeps Religulous - a very good movie - from being the great movie it could have been." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Religulous (2008)71%
/
 
" Appaloosa is a familiar story told well enough that it's worth seeing, but won't truly linger for any but the most diehard Western fanatic." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Appaloosa (2008)76%
/
 
" There's a little magic there in Cera and Dennings' excellent performances, continuing their upward trajectories in a romantic comedy that can barely keep up with them." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Oct 3, 2008
 
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)71%
/
 
" Like a quickie in a bathroom or a Heimlich to the gut, Choke gets in, gets out, and gets the job done." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 26, 2008
 
Choke (2008)55%
/
 
" A great trio of actors and a talented writer/director inject Lakeview Terrace with enough unexpected left turns to barely keep it worth recommending." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Lakeview Terrace (2008)44%
/
 
" This isn't the Coens playing it safe following their Oscar win. Rather, Burn After Reading is a movie about idiots made by geniuses." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Sep 12, 2008
 
Burn After Reading (2008)79%
/
 
" Elegy excels when it focuses solely on Kingsley and Cruz, two actors who inhabit these roles so completely that they're more interesting than the plot twists that surround them." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 21, 2008
 
Elegy (2008)74%
/
 
" One of the most enjoyable and best films of the year." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Aug 15, 2008

Tropic Thunder (2008)83%

" [Petit is] such an impassioned and energetic interview subject that it's remarkable that someone didn't make Man on Wire earlier." -- The Deadbolt

Man On Wire (2008)100%

" Pineapple Express is one of the best comedies of the year, an original and creative mix of very dark humor, feel-good "best friends comedy," and stoner movie." -- Movie Retriever

Pineapple Express (2008)68%

" Baghead is an original, confident piece of filmmaking that isn't easily categorized or even summarized." -- Movie Retriever

" Maybe purists who are already up in arms about the alterations will stop and realize that it's a testament to just how incredible Waugh's novel was that, even with so many cuts and alterations, so much quality remains." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Brideshead Revisited (2008)64%
/
 
" There's so much unpredictable comedy in Step Brothers, and humor is so much better when you can't see the jokes coming from a mile away." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jul 25, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)54%
/
 
" A masterpiece of good and evil with Oscar-worthy performances and technical accomplishments that has the potential to impact the genre more than any film since Christopher Reeve put on red tights." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jul 17, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)94%
/
 
" The kind of thrill ride that they used to make more often during the summer season - an over-the-top action movie made strictly for adults. Keep your superheroes. Give me more of these." -- Movie Retriever
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Wanted (2008)73%
/
 
" Like its hero, the job may not be done with the most style and grace, but it definitely gets done." -- The Deadbolt

Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
WALL-E (2008)96%
/
 
" There's nothing easy about Christopher Zalla's very good film, a story that will get under your skin in its depiction of the dark underbelly of the American dream." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)84%
/
 
" If you're anywhere near a city that's playing it in a theater, I couldn't be more direct - go see it. You will not regret it and not soon forget the best film so far this year." -- The Deadbolt
Posted Jun 12, 2008
 
The Edge of Heaven (2008)90%
/
 
" The fight choreography in Kung Fu Panda is the real draw. And, especially in IMAX, the film is never visually boring." -- The Deadbolt

" Spielberg and his team simply know how to do this kind of thing better than most of the filmmakers inspired by them who are trying to do it today." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 20, 2008
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)76%

Posted May 16, 2008
 
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)66%

Redbelt (2008)69%

" A documentary that feels even more relevant with the upcoming Supreme Court discussion of lethal injection in June." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 9, 2008
 
At the Death House Door (2008)100%
/
 
" Perhaps it's because I see so many by-the-numbers horror movies but when a director is willing to go as far off the rails as Gens tries to go in Frontier(s), it goes a long way with me." -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 7, 2008
 
Frontier(s) (2008)62%
/
 
" Iron Man is good but don't be surprised if you wish that the armor was a little more chipped and faded and not quite so perfectly "hot-rod red."" -- The Deadbolt
Posted May 1, 2008
 
Iron Man (2008)93%
/
 
" For some, the comedy glass will be more half-empty than half-full, but fans of the original movie and people exhausted by the state of the genre in general will drink up and hope they get another serving sooner than 2012." -- The Deadbolt
